      Old Chinese Criteria
      [[CONGERIES]]

      1. Bèi 被 is a general term for a blanket, and the word perhaps has something of a colloquial flavour.

      [FAMILIAR?]

      2. Qīn 衾 is probably the most common general word for a blanket, but the word also has specific uses where it emphasises the large size of a blanket. Ancient Chinese blankets were generally made with "silk-cotton, silk floss" miǎn 綿 (not identical with modern miánhuā 棉花 ) or hemp fillings. This type of blanket was important in funeral rites.

      3. Chóu 裯 refers to a single-layered thin blanket.

      4. Rèn 衽 refers to a thin blanket covering a mattress rù 褥. See MAT.

      5. Qiǎng 襁 refers to a small wrapping blanket which packs up babies to be carried on one's back.

      6. Bǎo 褓 refers generally to a small blanket used to protect a child against the cold.

      7. Qǐn yī 寢衣 refers to a relatively short blanket under which to sleep when it is not too cold, maybe even a kind of pyjamas (but note that in China as in the Middle Ages in Europe one tended to sleep naked, apparently).
